As he rocked her lifeless body back and forth in his arms, Severus Snape couldn't help but look hostilely at her child. He had an innocent look on his contorting face, staring at the two adults on the floor. His wide, green eyes sparkled with tears before he burst out wailing altogether.
The child's eyes…exactly the same hue as his mother's. But the rest of him…he looked like his arrogant father. Severus prayed the child wouldn't turn out like him. Severus put Lily down gently, bestowing a kiss on her pale forehead. He took one final glance at her; barely composed himself before standing in front of the child. With one look in his twinkling eyes, Severus made up his mind:
I will protect Lily's child. No matter what the cost.
